(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The product for the given reaction has to be shown and the major product has to be indicated.

Concept introduction:

Autoxidation involves reaction of a CH bond, (usually allylic one) with oxygen under radical initiation condition. The product is a hydroperoxide.

Mechanism involves a radical chain process in which resonance-delocalized allylic radical intermediates reacts with molecular oxygen to give peroxy radical that continues the radical chain.

Major product is more substituted double bond.

This is a synthesis question.  Why is this method wrong or worse than the "correct" method?  You could do it thiss way, couldn't you?
Try: Draw the best Lewis structure showing all non-bonding electrons and all formal charges if any: (CH3)3CCNO NCO- HN3 [CH3OH2]*
What are the major products of the following reaction? Draw all the major products. If there are no major products, then there is no reaction that will take place. Use wedge and dash bonds when necessary.
